Liberation for the Oppressed, 2022

Considering the violent and deadly experiences of racism in the United States during this contemporary moment, there remains a critical need for demonstrative dialogues for social justice. Progressive anti-racist allies-across differences of race, gender, class, sexuality, and ability-must continue to join together to enact strategies devoted to the eradication of racism. Ways to advocate life survival for Black Indigenous People of Color in the U.S. must be actively engaged. Particularly related to the emotional and physical trauma BIPOC communities are currently experiencing in this day and time, there must be a renewed call for the vision of a "beloved community." It must be envisioned by a unified, collective body of people committed to liberation for all the oppressed. In this day and time, anti-racist solidarity means that these individuals must take on challenging conversations about ways systemic and institutionalized racism continues to be perpetuated.

The mission for Liberation for the Oppressed is boldly to affirm the lives and voices of its contributors. They literally put their lives on the line writing about traumatic experiences each of them has or would face in what it means "to 'talk race'." Becoming critically aware of the self-deadening effects of internalized racism, each of them map the course of their personal, political, and professional journey toward self-recovery. Becoming critically aware of the complicity with racism by not speaking out about its traumatic implications, each of them critically employs personal narrative to speak out in loving resistance to racist colonization.

and Joanna Schreiber. Assembling critical components: A Framework for Sustaining Technical and Professional Communication, 2022

How do you explain technical and professional communication? The field has long tried to answer this question, with limited success. Because the field is constantly evolving alongside social, technological, and communication changes, it remains difficult to explain. Assembling Critical Components presents TPC as a collective identity and provides a framework for situating critical components of the field. This collection includes chapters reflecting on topics such as accessibility, professional communication, regulatory writing, socio-technical situation, procedural knowledge, applied rhetoric, and ethics. These topics are contextualized by entries presenting field-wide data on topics including influential texts, key terms, and teaching practices over time. Assembling Critical Components provides students, teachers, researchers, program administrators, and industry professionals a tangible yet flexible approach to explaining TPC.

The Making and Mirroring of the Masculine Subjectivities: Gender, Affect, and Ethics in Modern World Narratives, 2022

This book shows how diverse, critical modern world narratives in prose fiction and film emphasize masculine subjectivities through affects and ethics. Highlighting diverse affects and mental states in subjective voices and modes, modern narratives reveal men as feeling, intersubjective beings, and not as detached masters of master narratives. Modern novels and films suggest that masculine subjectivities originate paradoxically from a combination of copying and negation, surplus and lack, sameness and alterity: among fathers and sons, siblings and others. In this comparative study of more than 30 diverse world narratives, Mooney deftly uses psychoanalytic thought, narrative theories of first- and third-person narrators, and Levinasian and feminist ethics of care, creativity, honor, and proximity. We gain a nuanced picture of diverse postpaternal postgentlemen emerging out of older character structures of the knight and gentleman.

Field Notes from the Flood Zone, 2022

From the frontlines of climate catastrophe, a poet watches the sea approach her doorstep.

Born and raised in Florida, Heather Sellers grew up in an extraordinarily difficult home. The natural world provided a life-giving respite from domestic violence. She found, in the tropical flora and fauna, great beauty and meaningful connection. She made her way by trying to learn the name of every flower, every insect, every fish and shell and tree she encountered.

That world no longer exists.

In this collection of poems, Sellers laments its loss, while observing, over the course of a year, daily life of the people and other animals around her, on her street, and in her low-lying coastal town, where new high rises soar into the sky as the storm clouds gather with increasing intensity and the future of the community鈥昦nd seemingly life as we know it鈥昩ecomes more and more uncertain.

Sprung from her daily observation journals, haunted by ghosts from the past, Field Notes from the Flood Zone is a double love letter: to a beautiful and fragile landscape, and to the vulnerable young girl who grew up in that world. It is an elegy for the two great shaping forces in a life, heartbreaking family struggle and a collective lost treasure, our stunning, singular, desecrated Florida, and all its remnant beauty.

Ida Lupino, 2021

Each chapter includes a close analysis of the film or television work with insights drawn from film history and cultural/gender studies to demonstrate that Lupino was a significant directorial figure in the development of film, especially in the late 1940s and early 1950s鈥攁nd in television extending well into the 1960s. Lupino left her imprint on filmmaking and her canon of film and television work continue to influence Hollywood movie making.

Jay Hopler

Still Life, 2021

Confronted with a terminal-cancer diagnosis, Jay Hopler, author of the National Book Award finalist The Abridged History of Rainfall, got to work. The result is Still Life, a collection of poems that are heartbreaking, terrifying, and deeply, darkly hilarious. In an attempt to find meaning in a life ending right before his eyes, Hopler squares-off against monsters real and imagined,
personal and historical, and tries not to flinch. This work is no elegy; it鈥檚 a testament to courage, love, compassion, and the fierceness of the human heart. It鈥檚 a playfully serious fulfillment of what Arseny Tarkovsky called the fundamental purpose of art: a way to prepare for death, be it
far in the future or very near at hand.

A Road Course in Early American Literature: Travel and Teaching from Atzl谩n to Amherst, 2021

A Road Course in Early American Literature: Travel and Teaching from Atzl谩n to Amherst explores a two-part question: what does travel teach us about literature, and how can reading guide us to a deeper understanding of place and identity? Thomas Hallock charts a teacher鈥檚 journey to answering these questions, framing personal experiences around the continued need for a survey course covering early American literature up to the mid-nineteenth century.

PINE, 2021.

Pine maps a secret relationship between two women in the South, where certain kinds of desire鈥攓ueer desire, in particular鈥攈ave historically been hidden and feared. Creating new landscapes of identity by reimagining form, modifying villanelles, sonnets, elegies, thank-you notes, and dictionary entries, Pine鈥檚 imagistic and metaphorical associations between the body and the natural world form a queer ecology of longing and loss.

Cell Tower, 2020

Cropping up everywhere, whether steel latticework or tapered monopoles, encrusted with fiberglass antennas, cell towers raise up high into the air the communications equipment that channels our calls, texts, and downloads. For security reasons, their locations are never advertised. But it's our romantic notions of connectivity that hide them in plain sight. We want the network to be invisible, ethereal, and ubiquitous. The cell tower stands as a challenge to these desires.

Rhetoric of Health and Medicine As/Is: Theories and approaches for the field, 2020

Rhetoric of health and medicine (RHM) has emerged as a distinct area of inquiry within rhetorical studies. It is one that embraces multiple disciplinary orientations that examines discourses and practices in a diverse range of contexts. This wide-ranging collection of attempts to address the dual orientation of what RHM offers by considering RHM as a theoretical construct guiding research and thinking alongside the conceptual parameters that constitute what RHM is. Both perspectives are central to establishing RHM鈥檚 understanding of how knowledge about the body is conceived and conveyed and the strategies by which healthcare professionals, industry agents, governmental representatives, and consumers are engaged in shaping the healthy and diseased body in a variety of social contexts.

Ovid and Adaptation in Early Modern English Theatre, 2020

Did you know that Ovid was a multifaceted icon of lovesickness, endless change, libertinism, emotional torment, and violence in early modern England? This is the first collection to use adaptation studies in connection with other contemporary theoretical approaches in analyzing early modern transformations of Ovid. It provides innovative perspectives on the 鈥淥vids鈥� that haunted the early modern stage, while exploring intersections between adaptation theory and gender/queer/trans studies, ecofeminism, hauntology, transmediality, rhizomatics, and more. This book examines the multidimensional, ubiquitous role that Ovid and Ovidian adaptations played in English Renaissance drama and theatrical performance.

Charles Adams

The Arkansas Regulators, 2019

The Arkansas Regulators is a rousing tale of frontier adventure, first published in German in 1846, but virtually lost to English readers for well over a century. Written in the tradition of James Fenimore Cooper, but offering a much darker and more violent image of the American frontier, this was the first novel produced by Friedrich Gerst盲cker, who would go on to become one of Germany鈥檚 most famous and prolific authors. A crucial piece of a nineteenth-century transatlantic literary tradition, this long-awaited translation and scholarly edition of the novel offers a startling revision of the frontier myth from a European perspective.

Right Romance: Heroic Subjectivity and Elect Community in Seventeenth-Century England, 2019

Right Romance examines the intersections of romance, religion, and politics in England between 1588 and 1688 to show how writers during this politically turbulent time used the genre of romance to construct diverse ideological communities for themselves. The book argues for a recontextualized understanding of romance as a multigeneric narrative structure or strategy rather than a prose genre and rejects the common assumption that romance was a short-lived mode most commonly associated with royalist politics. Puritan republicans likewise found in romance strength, solace, and grounds for political resistance.

The Rib Joint: A Memoir in Essays, 2019

In this collection of linked, lyrical essays, Julia Koets writes, 鈥淲hen you date in secret, the pressure is different. You鈥檙e weightless. You鈥檙e stuck in between jumping and landing. You exist in midair. Your bones start to thin.鈥� After college, when Julia and her best friend Kate wait tables at a rib joint in Julia鈥檚 hometown in South Carolina, they are forced to face the price of the secrets they鈥檝e kept鈥攆rom their families, each other, and themselves. From astronaut Sally Ride鈥檚 obituary, to a UFO Welcome Center, to a shark tooth collection, to DC Comic鈥檚 Gay Ghost, this memoir-in-essays draws from mythology, religion, popular culture, and personal experience to examine how coming out is not a one-time act. The Rib Joint explores how fear and loss can inhabit our bodies and, contrastingly, how naming our desire allows us to feel the heart beating in our chest.

Unsettled Solidarities, 2019

Unsettled Solidarities examines contemporary Asian and Indigenous crossings within different settler states in the Am茅ricas. Quynh Nhu Le looks at literary works by both groups alongside public apologies, interviews, and hemispheric race theories to trace cross-community tensions and possibilities for solidarities amidst the uneven imposition of racialization and settler colonization.

Pairing hemispheric Asian American and Indigenous authors, Le reveals how settler colonialism persists through the liberal ideological structuring or incorporation of critical and political resistance. She illuminates the tense collisions of Asian and Indigenous movements from the heroic/warrior traditions, reparations and redress, and transnational/cross-racial mobilization against global capital to mixed-race narratives.

Reading these tensions as formed through the unstable grammatical and emotional economies of liberalism, Le frames settler colonialism as a process that is invoked and yet ruptured by Asian and Indigenous peoples. In analyzing Asian/Indigenous crossings in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil, Unsettled Solidarities conveys the logics and instabilities that connect these settler empires.

Learning with Women in Jail: Creating Community-Based Participatory Research, 2019

Learning with Women in Jail: Creating Community-Based Participatory Research provides a window into the actual practices of creating this research with marginalized communities, in particular women who have been incarcerated. This project, collaboratively created and written with participants, documents our methods and processes by foregrounding the ethical issues that are present and are often exacerbated when the participants occupy marginalized statuses. We provide suggestions for how to more fully engage in the research process and outline where our work and the work of others can fall short. We explore how our process measures up to our recommendations and offer readers insight into their own research methods and how they might impact co-researchers, participants, and the knowledge they can co-create. One of the book鈥檚 greatest strengths is the critical perspective it provides on Community-Based Participatory Research and its role in simultaneously creating and alleviating these ethical challenges.

The Circuit of Apollo: Eighteenth-Century Women鈥檚 Tributes to Women, 2019

The Circuit of Apollo is a book about early modern women鈥檚 networks traced through affirmations of respect, admiration, love, and sometimes competition. It emerges out of the desire to highlight what relationships among women in the long eighteenth century tell us about the emotional lives and the creative work of women. The essays collected here attest to the vital practice of commemorating women鈥檚 artistic and personal relationships and in doing so illuminate the complexity of female friendships and honor as well as the robust creativity and intellectual work contributed by women to early modern culture. The subjects of these essays cover nearly two hundred years of women鈥檚 lives from the late seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. The geographical diversity of people represented and the span of time covered underscores the consistency of the practice of women鈥檚 tributes to other women, even when it took the form of critical engagement. Essays trace the relationships between and among women such as Anne Finch, Mary, Lady Chudleigh, Jane Barker, Mary Barber, Eliza Haywood, Anna Barbauld, Anna Seward, Helen Maria Williams, and Ameila Opie, and closes with Betty Schellenberg鈥檚 thoughtful afterword on women in the archive and the continued relevance of our work.

Editors: Kristin J. Jacobson, Kristin Allukian, Rickie-Ann Legleitner, Leslie Allison

Inhabited Spaces: Anglo-Saxon Constructions of Place, 2017

We tend to think of early medieval people as unsophisticated about geography because their understandings of space and place often differed from ours, yet theirs were no less complex. Anglo-Saxons conceived of themselves as living at the center of a cosmos that combined order and plenitude in a constant state of tension. In Inhabited Spaces, Nicole Guenther Discenza examines Anglo-Latin and Old English texts to shed light on early English understandings of space. They sought to shape the universe into knowable places, from where the earth stood in the cosmos, to the kingdoms of different peoples, and to the intimacy of the hall. Discenza argues that Anglo-Saxon works both construct orderly place and illuminate the limits of human spatial control.

Jay Hopler

The Abridged History of Rainfall, 2017

Jay Hopler's second collection, a mourning song for his father, is an elegy of uproar, a careening hymn to disaster and its aftermath. In lyric poems by turns droll and desolate, Hopler documents the struggle to live in the face of great loss, a task that sends him ranging through Florida's torrid subtropics, the mountains of the American West, the streets of Rome, and the Umbrian countryside. Vivid, dynamic, unrestrained: The Abridged History of Rainfall is a festival of glowing saints and fighting cocks, of firebombs and birdsong.

Roberto Busa, S.J. And the Emergence of Humanities Computing: The Priest and the Punched Cards, 2016

It's the founding myth of humanities computing and digital humanities: In 1949, the Italian Jesuit scholar, Roberto Busa, S.J., persuaded IBM to offer technical and financial support for the mechanized creation of a massive lemmatized concordance to the works of St. Thomas Aquinas. Using Busa's own papers, recently accessioned in Milan, as well as IBM archives and other sources, Jones illuminates this DH origin story. He examines relationships between the layers of hardware, software, human agents, culture, and history, and answers the question of how specific technologies afford and even constrain cultural practices, including in this case the academic research agendas of humanities computing and, later, digital humanities.
